   Overall, there was an increase in the proportions of exports to India and China, with China experiencing the most dramatic rise. In addition, Australian exports to Japan ranked the highest among four countries, but it was overtaken by China in the last two years.

   As can be seen, the number of Australian commodities sold to Japan started at 25%, after which it experienced a decrease to 18% in 2012, with a fluctuation in 2007. By contrast, initially, the figure for exports to India was at its lowest point of only 2% in 1990, then increased to 8% in 2009 before declining to 5% at the end of the period.

     Regarding the figures for China and US imports from Australia, the percentage of China grew steadily throughout the period of 22 years. The evidence is that this figure began at 3% and ended at nearly 28%, even surpassing Japan to become the greatest figure among 4 countries from 2009. An opposite change can be seen in the proportion of products traded to the US, which dropped from 11% in 1990 to approximately 5% at the end. Notably, in 2003, the proportions for both the US and China were the same at 9%.
